New York Recommendations

ShoppingUnion Square 6d 5h ago •vanessa562

Nordstrom Rack at Union Sq often has decent stuff in large sizes on a budget. For men's dress shoes, Nordstrom Rack is a good option as it offers affordable prices while still providing a good selection of quality shoes.

I've found a great spot for kawaii Japanese collectibles and keychains - Kinokuniya near Bryant Park. It's a great variety of items without the usual mark-ups, and it's a locally-owned business which is a bonus.

Got a new Paul Smith suit there for $180-$220, which was then tailored to fit perfectly. It's a great option for finding high-quality, second-hand clothing for men.

ShoppingW. 17th 1w ago •vanessa562

Pippin on W. 17th offers a range of vintage jewelry pieces, with prices starting at around $50. The store has a variety of items to choose from, including funkier and more colorful pieces, making it a great option for someone who likes unique and affordable jewelry.

For a unique and cute engagement gift, head to Fishs Eddy, a store that has a wide variety of kitchen knick-knacks, including cute little ceramic items like salt and pepper shakers. While they may not specialize in vintage items, they have a great selection of affordable and adorable kitchen decor that's sure to please. You can find them on 25th Street in the Chelsea neighborhood, open on weekends.

ShoppingBushwick 3w ago •Jared V

Check out L Train Vintage in Bushwick for themed drops and a wild selection of clothing, including painted leather jackets. They have a rack of unique pieces, making it a great spot for those looking for something truly one-of-a-kind.

Queens Center has everything you need for actual shopping, making it a great destination for those who want a one-stop shopping experience. It's also worth mentioning that the old school Flushing Mall food court was unmatched before it closed, but unfortunately, it's no longer an option.

Indochino's turnaround is like 2-3 weeks so that's out, maybe hit up Suitsupply in SoHo and pray their off-the-rack fits you close enough. SoHo is a pretty well-known neighborhood in New York, you can't miss it. Suitsupply is located there, and you can visit them to find a decent suit fast.

ShoppingEast 28th 1mo ago •Jared V

Kalustyan's is a total experience worth the trip. It's located at 123 Lexington Ave @ East 28th, and offers a wide selection of teas, spices, and grains.

High-end consignment stores on West 29 and 30th Street between 7th and 8th avenues might be interested in your fur coats. They can pay better if the coat is from a known brand, but you should be prepared for the fact that fur resale value has dropped a lot, so don't expect to get anything close to what was paid originally.

ShoppingUpper West Side 1mo ago •Marisol I

Tip Top Shoes on the Upper West Side is worth visiting for its surprisingly cute sandals and loafers. Located on the UWS, it's easily accessible and offers stylish orthopedic shoe options.

Bleecker street is a favorite among locals, offering a good mix of food and shops along the way. It's a long street that spans across multiple neighborhoods, making it a great place to explore and discover new spots.

Located in Rockefeller Center, Rough Trade Records is a good spot to check out some memorabilia and get a good selection of various musical media. It's mostly new stuff and touristy, but a little closer to the Virgin store type experience.
